String Quartet Plays
During Music Hour
On Thursday, November 15, at
Music Hour, a string quartet, com
posed of tlie Misses Klinabeth Mc-
C'lauiflu-rty, first violinist, Marie
Bowen, second violinist, Daisy Litz,
violist. Hazel Horton Read,'cellist,
j>-ave a delightful and interesting
))rogram. Miss Read opened the
|)rogram with a brief sketch of the
derivation of the instruments of the
(piartet. Tlic first and second violins
could be compared to the soprano
and alto of the vocal quartet except
for the fact that they are the same
instrument ;md. therefore, have the
same range. The German n.-imc for
the violin is, })robably, the most ap-
])ropriatc. It is derived from the
(rreek lyre. The Latin name from
which our w'ord “fiddle” is derived,
also refers to a kind of lyre. At
exactly what time the bow w'as add
ed to the instrument we do not
know. However,^it is thought that
this addition was made in the thir
teenth century during the time of
the Troubadours. The instrument
was then called the guitar-fiddle and
w.'is much larger in size than our
present violin. In the fifteenth
century bow instruments of many
sizes were introduced including the
bass viole and the tenor viole. The
violin as it is today is about three
centuries old and lias hardly varied
since the time of the great violin-
maker, Stradivarius, KiSO-1730.

method of jilaying is practically the
same .as that used with the violin.
However, the music for it is written
in the. viola, or alto clef. The tone
of the instrument is rich and, some
times, slightly nasal, but is less pow-
crful’.and brilliant than th.at of the
violin. The viola plays the tenor
part in the string quartet.
The present dimensions of the vio-
linccllo, or tlie cello as it is most
conunonly called, were achieved with

This instrument forms the b.-iss for
the string quartet and is tuned an
octave below the viola—in fifths.

In Sunday Vespers
Our Flag"
“I pledge allegiance to my flag
■and to the Republic for which it
stands, one nation, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all.” Thou
sands of Americans, both old and
y(umg, great and small, school ehil-
drtn and hoary-haired grandfathers
have time after time pledged alleg
iance to the flag by this very state
ment. But in doing it, did they real
ly realize the sig-nificance of it?
Wc wonder how many of them were
unaware of the .seriousness of those
words.
At Y. W. Vespers Sunday, Dr.
r.ockett, speaking on “Courtesies to
Our Flag,” made clear the depth of
meaning in our flag, and the honor
due it.
“Patriotism,” said Dr. I.ockett,
is one of the greatest forces that
actuates a human being, it is next
in rank to religion. In time of an
emergency, a true patriot cannot
help doing his best for his country.
Patriotism is a quality that shoidd
l)e cultivated in the early years of
a person’s life, and as he grows old
er, knowledge and interest will in
spire liim to develop it more fully.

Freshmen and Sophs
Victorious in Games
Co„
nmg
On Monday afternoon the .luniors
played the Sophomores and the
Seniors played the Freshmen in the
first preliminary basketball games.
Promptly at 2:30 o’clock the purple
and whites stepped out on the court
to meet the yellow and blacks.
Speaking of yells—well, those cheer
leaders had them, and those cheerers
whom they led by no means spoke
wliispering encouragemei|ts to , the
players as the game between the
•Juniors and Sophomores started.
The Sopliomores led the Juniors
throughout the game, but never for
one inst.int did the intere.st lag, for
the playing was fast and good. There
were no outstanding stars in this
game, but the Sophomore guards’
passing was good, and Ruth Carter
and Dorothy Thompson showed great
accuracy in shooting goals. The
finish score was; Sojihomores 2(i,
Juniors 9.
The Freshman-Senior game was
equally as good and exciting as the
previous game. In this game
there was certainly an outstanding
star. Marion 'rurner, Freshman for
ward and captain, got free from her
guard time after time and shot goals
almost at random. The Freshman
captain played only two quarters
and during this time scored 20 points.
The final score was: Fre.shmen 3fi,
There were several outstanding
features of the two games. One was
the great number of graceful falls
accomplished during the afternoon.
It seemed that almost all the players
fell at some'time or other for—every

Students of Sociology
SUidents at
Opporim
In a news article sent out recent
ly from Chicago the statement was
made that in the Social Science de
partment of the University of Chi
cago the use of the library had be
come almost a thing of the past.
Instead, “the Loop,” as as the busi
ness district of the city is called, is
being used to great advantage as a
research laboratory by students in
this department.
The Department of Economies and
Sociology at Salem College, in line
with the present day trend in the
teaching of these subjects, docs not
by any means confine itself to the
printed page. Of course, such ma
terial in the form of assignments
from the prescribed texts forms the
basis of the work,' there is much
delving among the books in the li
brary for additional material, and
articles from the current issues of
the magazines and the daily papers
furnish material for interesting
class-room discussion on economic
and social problems. Field work,
however, constitutes an important
part of the work of the several
clas.ses composing the department.
Winston-Salem being an outstand
ing industrial center offers excep
tional opportunities for such work in
economies. The application of eco
nomic principles in the conduct of
various business enterprises is stud
ied through visits to various local
establishments—the plant of the P.

Georgia Tech Leads
Conference Race
A hitherto powerful contestant for
the Southern Conference title wa,s
given a set-back on Saturday when
Georgia Tech hammered out a 19 to
7 victory over Vanderbilt. As a re
sult, the Golden Tornado moved into
the front rank of unbeaten elevens
and became an outstanding favorite
for the Conference championship
wliich it is defending. Some idea of
Tech’s defensive strength may be
gained from the fact that Vandy was
able to register onl\- two first-downs
against the Yellow Jackets while in
the offensive department the Engi
neers were equally as strong, making
16 first downs and completely out
playing the Commodores.
Florida, another unbeaten team,
advanced a big step when the ’Gators
downed Georgia, 20 to 6, at Savan
nah. The I'loridans are on equal
terms with Georgia Tech and Ten
nessee, each eleven having four wins
and no defeats to its credit.

Another feature was the unusual
lack of fouls in both games. Still
another feature was the big score
that the Seniors piled up in their
game. It w'as the largest score that
they have ever made in any game
which all goes to show liow much age
and experience help. Indeed the
Seniors should be proud of their l-l

Business Students
Are Entertained
In the fall of the year when the
leaves have fallen from the trees,
and the air is crisp and clear, there
is nothing which can take the place
of a roaring fire, blazing in the open,
■ind plenty of wciners and mar.sh-
mallows. The Business Students
were given just such a treat as this
by Miss Barrow on last Saturday,
when they were delightfully enter
tained on the lower campus. The
picnic was held amid much gaiety,
and was thoroughly enjoyed by
every student present.
Delta Sigma Delta

The Delta Sigma Delta Sorority
entertained in honor of their new
members last Saturday evening, No

in the private dining room of the
Robert E. Lee Hotel. The color
scheme of lavender and white, the
sorority colors, was attractively car
ried out in the favors and decora
tions. A basket of lavender chry
santhemums with lavender candles
on either side formed the centerpiece.

Dr. Lilly Speaks on
Communist Regime
Interesting Account of Modern Rus
sia Given in Chapel Hour
During the Wednesday Morning
Chapel Hour Professor Henry T.
I.illy, of Davidson College, discussed
interesting facts about Russia in an
iiusually vivid manner, enriched by
whimsical sense of humor.
He amused his audience greatly
by summing up the average Ameri
can’s conception of Russia—a con
glomeration of dark forests, deep
vvs, hungry wolves, Volga boat-
L, bushy whi.skers and unpolished
boots. Then he proceeded to give a
necessarily limited but choicely de
tailed description of the true mod
ern Russia, with a preliminary ac-
it of the difficulties involved in
gaining permission to enter that
country unimpeded.
Professor Lilly told of the rigid
examination of baggage in the sta
tions on the Russian border; and of
the worthlessness of Russian rubles
purchased in Poland. He told of
the beautiful view of Moscow which
one enjoys before entering the city
and of the dirt which one finds upon
arriving there. Spies do not lurk in
the cobblestoned streets, as foreign
ers are prone to expect. Nor are
the Russian people characteristically
melancholy. However, they are
very poorly dressed. To dress well
is to be pro-bourgeoise and to oppose
the very spirit of Communistic gov
ernment.
Professor Lilly explained that po
litically, economically, and religious
ly Russia is controlled by commun
istic ideas. He stressed the im
portance of trying to recognize the
good points in this new regime and
of regarding it broad-mindedly.
Under the present government in
Russia marriage is considered pro-
bourgeoise. No other country has
ever attempted such a system. The
Russians look upon it as a founda
tion for “the new life of the future.”
They have establi.shed state schools
for children born out of wedlock.
Divorce may be obtained with amaz
ing ease; but tliat does not necessar
ily mean that everybody takes ad
vantage of it.

California Tech to Open
Large Observatory Soon
Neiv Building to lie Erected For
This Purpose
Hundreds of millions of stars now
outside the visible range of man are
expected to be discovered when the
California Institute of Technology
installs in its laboratory a 200-incli
telescope.
A new building is to be erected to
contain the monster, which is to be
the most powerful ever made.
The telescope with its buildings,
doms and auxiliary equipment will
be erected on the most favorable
mountain site procurable. The pow
erful scientific eye .should render
possible the exploration of many is
land universes beyond the Milky
Way, the nearest two or three of
which are now but slightly known.
It also should reveal something
concerning the evolution of these
spiral nebulae, millions of light years
distant, and much about the develop
ment of the stars of our own galactic
system, one of which is the sun,
with its encircling planets. It should
solve manv of the problems of phys
ics or chemistiy that depend upon
the enormous masses of temper
atures, or upon the immense density
or extreme tenuity exhibited by celes
tial bodies in which titanic experi
ments exceeding the capacity of any
terrestrial laboratory are in process.
